This kind of just picks up literally where the Mockingjay epilogue ends. I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything! This started as a simple one shot and just kind of exploded because of all the nice things everyone has said. Thank you so much for reading this, and continuing to read it. I'm deliriously sad that it's come to an end, but I do have a couple THG one shots I'm working on. If you have ever had any questions or anything, just let me know. I always reply back :D Wahhh I don't want you to read this, because then it's really over
Basil trips over his own feet again as he continues to chase after Amy. She just laughs, her dark hair catching in the wind. Peeta wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me into his side. I rest my head against his shoulder as we watch our children play. Basil, frustrated, throws himself on the ground and just watches Amy. "You're too fast," he complains. She just giggles. "Come on Bay, you can catch me! I know you can!" With his sister encouraging him, he gets back on his feet and keeps the chase going.
"We'll be okay Katniss. Look at them. Do you believe for even a second they won't trust us when we tell them?"
Amy looks over at us and grins. "No."
He kisses the top of my head. I'm still skeptical. "But the things we've done Peeta…"
"We've never done anything uselessly. There was always a reason."
Always a reason. Always. "They'll understand."
He nods in agreement. "They will." I glance at the watch on Peeta's wrist. "Come on kids, let's go visit Grandpa!"
Thrilled, they end their game and run over into Peeta's and my arms. Basil with me, and Amy with Peeta. I plant a kiss on Basil's cheek. "Wanna go visit Grandpa?" He nods excitedly. The kids love Haymitch.
As they both cling to me and Peeta, he looks over and asks our age old question. "Real or not real." A big smile is plastered onto his face and I think back to the many times he has asked me this.
You love me, real or not real.
"Absolutely real."
